jamboinglasgow Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 More information was released today of Spurs new stadium. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-38682911 Just mental, what can be made with so much money. A micro brewery which can create 10,000 pints a minute, a 17,000 seater single tier stand, in house bakery, climbing walls outside. And cost ?750m. Though one thing I cant get my head around is that as they are going to host NFL games the grass pitch is retractable and an artificial pitch is underneath. I have seen stadiums that have retractable pitches (such as Schalkes one) they normally have area outside the stadium where the pitch goes. But in every image I have seen of the new White Hart Lane there is no space. Any one know what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughesie27 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 The pitch is probably below ground level so it may well retract underground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do The Dance Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 For 750m quid they can probably afford to pay a fairy to make it disappear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboinglasgow Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Pocchetino is not a fan of the ?19000 tunnel ticket. A bit reticent, that if anything kicks off in the tunnel and "supporters" see it all. I doubt Daniel Levy gives a monkey's well worn vagina, what his manager thinks about it though... Seems to be a new trend clubs are doing. Man City are currently bringing in one. I agree that I dont really see the point of paying so much more money so you can see the players in the tunnel for a maximum of 5 minutes.

Unknown user Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 The stadium looks amazing, but it's a disgusting amount of money that just shows how utterly, utterly mental the English game has become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seymour M Hersh Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Who's paying for it? Spurs I think. There sees to be luxury flats adjoining the ground that will help in the cost (when sold for obscene amounts, it being london & all).

Some people will pay big to see anything. Its just people walking up a tunnel FFS! Fools and their money are easily seperated. Amazing football stadium though. ?750M? WTF?

Ibrahim Tall Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Mental to think that even after a 20,000 or so upgrade they'll likely still sell it out immediately. Sure their season ticket waiting list is more than 40,000 long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have a hybrid pitch like ours Their pitch is a hybrid (I think) but it also splits into sections that slide under the stands at the opposite ends so that the artificial pitch underneath can be used for American football. It does look an amazing stadium. Its hard not to really envy the amount of money around in English football that they can build incredible stadiums like that.

Angel eyes Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Tottenham are paying for it themselves going from debt free to 600million in the red! They’ve got banking partners to cover initial loans and are going to do a similar scheme to Man United where they sell private bonds to private investors to raise the finance so no public share offer.NFL are also involved playing games at the stadium they’ve also signed with Nike until 2033 naming rights White Hart Lane,Nike arena or something?

Perhaps not what he thinks in terms of where Tottenham play but he’d better humour him in team affairs if it wasn’t for Pochettino Tottenham would be still mid table dross. One thing though I’m sure they are both singing from the same hymn sheet regards the cheese room they have at the new stadium,no football ground should be with out one.

CJGJ Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 With all due repect to those complaining have you actually been to the old White Hart lane ? It was well past its time and far too small for the demand for tickets in recent times They have a brand spanking new home yards from their old so all can still attend their usual haunts pre and post match The facilities would seem to be far better than the old ground and they have built it bearing in mind the type of events that will be needed to raise the funds required to operate it They will suffer financially over the next 10 years or so and it will limit their transfer expenditure but in the long run it is a change they needed to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
